NOW that the council has been voted in, and the people of Swindon have voted for whom they wish, will it be too much to ask for our two MPs to get behind the council and support them and help to take this town forward?

No more silly figures on fly-tipping, serious as it may be. How about telling us why so many hospitals in Wiltshire are closing? Why so many nurses and staff face the sack? Why, with the mess she has made of the British farmers' payments, if not sorted by June, will it mean a £20m fine from the EU?

Why has Ms Beckett been made Home Secretary? Why has Ms Kelly with her record of planning objections, been made in charge of planning over the joke Mr Prescott? Why is a former card-carrying communist now in charge of MI5 and all their records? And what is the punishment for having cannabis in your home?

Is it true that we will now have to pay £5 a night for hospital treatment?

You would think that our MPs would support this town, not stab them in the back pre-election times. After all the next election could be for their seats!
